    How are you guys dealing with and doing it, winch front and solid rear bumpers?
    Appreciate advice, yep.

    Not understanding your question. Are you asking how to mount the blind spot and parking sensors in your new bumpers? Or how to park with aftermarket bumpers?
    If you have those sensors already and want to retain them, ensure you buy compatible bumpers.
    If you have replaced your bumpers and need some assistance with parking, many run the FRAC harness and anytime front/rear camera.

    Trucks are hard to come by right now, thinking of taking what I can get and that would be one with parking assist, blind spot whatever and rear crossing traffic warning...things to that effect and that I would prefer to not have.
    I always have winch bumpers on my trucks and naturally a sturdy rear since I would more than likely drag a factory one off.
    I would imagine that those features can't be disabled and sensors removed? I guess mounting them in an aftermarket set up is what is done to avoid codes and issues, not necessarily to retain function in my case....?
    These things weren't factoring when I bought my last truck 10 years ago, so looking for info.

    I don't have any, but I think you can disconnect the sensor without any issues. Might have to ask a mechanic or someone with a scanner to turn off a setting if it then illuminates an error on the dash. Good question, sorry I'm not more help. Someone here will have more useful info
